Veriquer Wasingtion
« on: Monday 10 November 14 07:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi I have a Veriquer Wasingtion as the father of a Jeckeriaa who married Henry George Warr in Birmingham on 05 Aug 1894. He is the brother of my Gr Grandmother Eliza Warr. Veriquer is named as a Traveller deceased on the marriage record.

The only record I have been able to find for Jeckeriaa is her marriage. I cannot locate her or Henry after the marriage. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to find more information about travelling families
Thanks
Gillian

we might all be better off if you get the name right firstly> "Washington    Jeckerua";


and I would assume she died as a Jessie Warr....     sounds that the prime family may have been of Ordodoxy or Jewish origin or beliefs.

HI

Here is the marriage record - which is where I got the spelling from - as you can see the spelling is as I have posted !  I have searched for a Jessica Warr death- no luck!

Certainly a bit of a mystery. You've put the names as on the certificate but at least one index shows bride as Jessica (perhaps transcriber thought 'Jeckeriia' was a mistake!).

Not sure what that 2nd comment is supposed to mean  :-\

I did find a Henry George Warr in 1901 census but not sure if he's the correct one-
Sandwell Hall, West Bromwich, Staffordshire
Henry George Warr, married, age 44, filler[?], birthplace- 'not known', lunatic

Possibly that same man-
Henry G. Warr, age 73 [born c1857], died July/Sept.1930, Birmingham South district, volume 6d, page 12

The 1901 census looks quite possible - A filler might be a fitter??   Could be an engine fitter.  In other census years patients in asylums were often just shown with their initials

I had been helping in a very minor fashion on Gillian's previous thread, and suggested the Traveller board, as the Father was a traveller, and this seemed a reasonable suggestion, even though i had never read any of the posts on this board.

The comment from fastfusion was incredibly patronising and just plain wrong.  Gillian had not stated that the marriage was to be seen on ancestry, but possibly fastfusion should have checked before jumping in with both feet.

I have not been using these boards for very long, but such gross assumptions as to the accuracy of the information given by Gillian may have completely bounced off her back, but it has not bounced off mine.

So what becomes of the wife, and possibly some children, and where was she before marriage?

Modified post because of rootschat's position over 1911 census, as mentioned below:

Try the 1911 census under his 3 initials and similar place and area and age and confirmation of occupation.

Unfortunately, we aren't allowed to post any details from the 1911 English census that are not available on free searches.
